What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a scientifically backed treatment that uses the natural growth factors found in your blood to reactivate dormant hair follicles and encourage regrowth. Platelets contain powerful proteins that promote healing and tissue repair, making them ideal for stimulating the scalp and supporting new hair development.

The process begins with a simple blood draw. The sample is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, creating PRP. Once prepared, the PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp, where it enhances circulation and delivers essential growth factors directly to the follicles. This increased blood supply nourishes the hair roots, strengthens weak strands, and extends the natural growth phase of your hair cycle. PRP hair restoration is a safe and effective way to address early-stage hair loss, slow hair thinning, and improve overall hair density—without the risks associated with surgery or medications.

What Sets PRF Hair Restoration Apart?

PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is an advanced form of PRP that provides even greater regenerative benefits. While PRP isolates platelets, PRF goes a step further by also preserving white blood cells, fibrin, and stem cells found in your blood. This results in a more potent formula that delivers sustained healing effects over time.

Unlike PRP, which requires anticoagulants during preparation, PRF is spun at a lower speed in the centrifuge, allowing the natural fibrin matrix to remain intact. This means that growth factors are released more gradually, prolonging their impact on the hair follicles. By continuously nourishing the scalp and supporting follicle regeneration, PRF promotes thicker, healthier hair with longer-lasting results.

If you’re looking for a highly effective hair restoration treatment with prolonged benefits, PRF may be the ideal option. During your complimentary consultation, our experienced providers will assess your hair loss concerns and determine whether PRP or PRF is best suited to your needs.

How PRP and PRF Hair Restoration Work

Step 1: Extracting the PRP or PRF

Both PRP and PRF therapies begin with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The key difference between the two lies in how the blood is processed. For PRP, the sample is placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speed to separate and concentrate platelets, creating platelet-rich plasma. PRF undergoes a slower centrifugation process, preserving additional healing components like white blood cells and stem cells. This results in platelet-rich fibrin, which delivers more sustained regenerative benefits.

Step 2: Targeted Injections

After the PRP or PRF is prepared, the scalp is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort. The concentrated growth factors are then injected into areas experiencing hair thinning, stimulating inactive hair follicles and encouraging the natural regrowth process.

Step 3: Your Results

Following treatment, the growth factors continue to work beneath the surface, promoting collagen production and improving scalp health. Over the next few weeks, you’ll notice a reduction in hair shedding, followed by the emergence of thicker, healthier hair. Since hair regrowth is a gradual process, multiple sessions are typically recommended to achieve the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions PRP / PRF Hair Restoration

Are PRP and PRF hair restoration treatments effective?

Yes, PRP and PRF treatments have been highly effective for many individuals in slowing hair loss and stimulating dormant hair follicles to produce thicker, healthier hair. However, hair loss can stem from a variety of causes. During your consultation, we’ll assess your condition to determine if PRP or PRF is the right approach for you. Combining these treatments with microneedling and exosome serum can further enhance your body’s ability to naturally restore hair growth.

Who is a good candidate for PRP or PRF hair restoration?

These treatments are most effective for individuals experiencing hair thinning rather than complete baldness. The earlier you begin treatment, the better the results tend to be. PRP and PRF are excellent options for those who may not be candidates for pharmaceutical or surgical hair restoration treatments, including pregnant or nursing individuals, cancer patients, and those with underlying medical conditions. They also provide a non-invasive alternative for those with a thinning crown who wish to avoid hair transplant surgery.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one session. However, the number of treatments required depends on the extent of hair loss. Typically, one session targets a specific area, such as the front hairline, mid-scalp, crown, or back of the head. If hair loss is more widespread, additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results.

How should I prepare for my treatment?

To maximize your results, we recommend maintaining a healthy diet and staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. Drinking plenty of fluids on the day of your treatment helps ensure that your blood is in optimal condition for the procedure.

Is there any downtime after PRP or PRF treatment?

After your session, you may experience mild redness, tenderness, or a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area for a few hours. Any discomfort can be managed with ibuprofen (Advil or generic) and ice packs. Some mild soreness and itching may persist for a few days. To aid healing, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure on the scalp for at least 24 hours.

When will I see my results?

Hair regrowth timelines vary from person to person. Some individuals notice new hair growth within five weeks, while the most significant improvements typically appear between three to six months after treatment.

Should I wash my hair before my appointment?

Yes, we recommend washing your hair the night before or the morning of your PRP or PRF session to ensure a clean scalp for the procedure.

Can I wash my hair after the procedure?

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before washing your hair, though waiting two to three days is ideal for optimal healing. When you do wash your hair, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Additionally, avoid styling products like gels, mousses, or hairsprays for at least three days post-treatment to prevent irritation.
